These are only some of the places I have been. My wife feels very conspicuous talking photographs in public but then a photo of each event is not necessary. Some locations are not possible.

I started to fell walk in a skirt in 2016. I never walk in a skirt on club walks or walks where the weather will be cold, wet, windy or simply not practical. This reduces the number of times that I actually do wear a skirt fell walking. However, general day to day walking over our local moors even minor fells is always in a skirt unless it is raining. Skirts do not lend themselves for waterproof over trousers!

This selection of photos is to establish, or try to, that I am just an ordinary human being, it's just that I prefer to wear clothing what Society deem as womenswear, unlike for women who can wear menswear style clothing. I'm therefore not normal, yet these women are!
My self employment is gardening, from regular maintenance, to creation and minor tree clearing.

My DIY at home goes beyond painting, decorating and the basics! I do my own electrics, plumbing, and most aspects of building work myself all to a high standard.

Garden I Designed & Created
I do not do garden design & creation. That needs regular new clients and hassle. I am happy to maintain gardens. However in 2005 I was asked to design a garden and maintain thereafter. The garden was done over 2 years, fitting in with my other garden clients at which time I was 5 days a week.
The photos in this section are just a selection, showing the garden as I started in 2005, photos of the garden at various times of the year, with 3 wide photos in September 2019 to contrast with the opening 2005 photos. Closing with photos in October and the garden prepared for winter by end of November. The sequence ends with 9 photos showing the garden after a flood in July 2019. The water level in the opening flood photos shows the water at 3 feet but tide marks on plants and in the garden shed showed it at 4 feet high. Four photos shows the silt left behind and the final two showing the garden, with silt in the borders still but 2 days later after hours of scrapping and hosing.
The garden flowers from Winter Flowering Jasmin and Snowdrops through to late November.
After 14 years I have plans to remodel the side borders of the centre border.
